Another similar site is authorSTREAM.com, they do not do open office presentations but only Microsoft Office. THey support animations, narrations and also convert PowerPoint to video format which makes it possible to download on iPOD or upload to YouTube.
authorSTREAM is better for MS PowerPoint file sharing. For open office Slideshare is better. They definitely have more content and head start on others.

I definitely use slideshare as a learning resource, especially for marketing and dev related material

I'd rather put hot pokers in my eyes than watch a power point presentation, much less invest in a start-up that aggregates the nonsense.

Matthew, Thanks for writing about us.

Leigh, a bigger thanks for carrying the word. The community is what makes SlideShare - the people who hang out, share ideas, learn from each other.

Rashmi
Cofounder, SlideShare

I need to have my Manager go to this website. She is absolutely clueless when it comes to PowerPoint presentations. She wants the presentation to be the same as the hand out. It's dull. It's boring. And it's uninformative. I don't want people reading their handout or staring at the screen - I want them focused in on me.

I know others would probably agree Leigh -- and in fact, your interest
in SlideShare was one of the things that got me interested in it and
made me want to write about it.

I love slideshare. Actually I think from a global creative collaboration perspective it's probably my favorite site to get insights from those that work in my industry.
